and the publications of the Bib. Indica, Es. 860-15, making a total of 

 Bs. 1,540-7, which sum amounting, at an exchange of Is. 86?. to the rupee 

 to £128-7-4f , was placed to the credit of the Society. 



During the same time the Society forwarded to Messrs. Triibner by 

 different invoices, for sale, 218 copies of both parts of the Journal and 168 

 copies of the Proceedings, valued at £49-1 ; and of the Bib. Indica publica- 

 tions 439 copies worth £32. 



The Invoices received from Messrs. Triibner, comprising the publica-

 books to order, and books on inspection amounted to £149-12-7. From 

 this sum £12-4-6 has to be deducted, as it represents the value of books 

 sent out on inspection, which were declined by the Library Committee and 

 returned to Messrs. Triibner. The next statement of accounts will be

Library. 



During the year the additions to the Library comprised 1048 Vols. 

 and parts of vols, of which 360 were obtained by purchase and 688 by 

 presentation from the Government, from authors, and by exchange. 



The Council regret that in consequence of the disorder caused by the 

 removal of the Library for the repairs, it has not been possible to make 

 any progress with the compilation of the new Catalogue. The Council 

 however bear the subject closely in mind, and steps will be taken for 

 immediately proceeding with this important work, as soon as circumstances 

 will permit. 



Arrangements will be made with the Society's London Agents and with 

 local booksellers for the early supply of the latest standard works relating 

 specially to India and the East, as well as for those of general scientific 

 interest. 



A furnished reading room has been provided for the use of members. 



The Photographic Collection of the Society has only received two 

 donations this year, consisting of a collection of photographs found among 

 the effects of the late Dr. Stoliczka, and a set of photographs of the 

 paintings at the Adjunta Caves in the Bombay Presidency, presented by 

 the Government of India.
